I love browsing old maps and the following site has been brought to my attention
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore Using the drop-down menus on the left brings up all sorts of interesting maps, all of which are zoomable. A marvellous resource which will probably consume far too much of my time :-) -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. http://peakdistrictweather.org Twitter: @TideswellWeathr |

Thank you very much indeed for this source, Norman. My father bequeathed me a huge number of old maps to which I have added. Looking at maps is my default activity at all times.

Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey, NGR 535161 159546 One very addictive feature is that using the slider at the bottom of the menu panel you can switch between the map and modern day satellite imagery on the same scale. With the slider half-way you can see both. Fascinating stuff. -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. http://peakdistrictweather.org Twitter: @TideswellWeathr |

Are you aware of http://www.oldmapsonline.org and also https://www.charlesclosesociety.org/. I have a complete set of 1:50000, 7th series 1" and my oldest OS maps are dated ~1914. My wife says I'm the only person he knows who curls up with a good map - but obviously there are more than just me. |
